There's an enterprise mode (nee compatibility mode, I guess?) that's supposed to make ie11 able to run legacy html, from what I can gather. There's a tickbox tweak that shrinks the icons to fit on the All Apps mui screen from the looks of it.

I must admit, I like the idea of the taskbar being available in any app. App swapping should be easier and the ability to quickly check the time and date is very handy.

Classic shell. Itadds a start mmenu and boots to desktop automatically. The company I work for ships it as standardwith all new laptops and desktops. Just unchexk explorer etc on install.

Click to expand...

Does it give me back my precious Metro Start Screen on boot though?...

I'm sorry. Please forgive my clumsy attempts at satire.

I do know it's a simple toggle, and despite what it said in the article updating didn't actually change my setting.
It still showed the Start Screen on login rather than the desktop, which (joking aside) is what I want.

I like the new "all apps" layout. Much clearer.
I do think it's a bit of a sad indictment of users more than anything that they felt the need to add a viable search button though. Press start and type!
